I’ve found @Xris32’s quick planning idea really successful with my class. A great way of discussing questions and ideas for answers. I’m going to try it with English Language as well. Here’s a template for P1 using the AQA specimen paper. @Team_English1 https://t.co/nltMO369v8

@K2SR7 Hi Kieran, I have been given the role of connection between the library and the English department. I would love to take a closer look at how my school can use these resources as there is going to be a push to create a love of reading.
